After an impatient waiting, OpenNTF has announced winners of the second Development Contest...

Winner - Mark Hughes for his ITANA Tasks app Finalist - Ferhat Bulut for his Mobile Admin app Finalist - David Marko for his Mobile Contacts and Reminders app The quality of entries were significantly higher this time. There are impressing projects and judgement was very tough this year... Mark absolutely deserved the golden medal with his great mobile application...

The name in the first finalist is also funny (and shocking) for me. Ferhat Bulut is my friend, the other co-leader of LUGTR and my neighbour (yes! we are living 50 meters away to each other)... Honestly, in our long tweeting dialog before the results, I had told Ferhat that he may not have a chance for the first three. But I was wrong again :) Tim Tripcony, the xmage has also contributed with his watrcoolr application. Download this app... It is a piece of art in XPage programming... The only reason it is not in the first three would be that it was a bit premature for the moment.

There are great projects in the list. Go download them and learn more about XPages. But please follow the licensing rules and credit the developer (and shout their names) if you are using any open source...
